England’s CDO reveals instructions on how to prepare for the return to work
England’s CDO, Sara Hurley, has recently published information guiding dental practices on how to prepare for their return to routine. In the dental profession’s latest update, Hurley has revealed several preparation measures for practices to consider as they make their return to work; however, a return to work date is still yet to be announced.
Dr Hurley stated: “There will be inevitable changes with regards to pace, proximity and levels of protection that are required for effective risk management and the safe delivery of dental care. This is the time to review and make the appropriate adjustments to protocols, procedures and practice infrastructure for the safe and effective resumption of routine dental care. The temporary cessation of routine dentistry addresses the safety of patients and of dental teams as well as supporting the public health measures required to slow community transmission of COVID-19. The profession’s appreciation of the risks and compliance with the public health measures has contributed to setting the conditions for further easing of lockdown, and we can reasonably anticipate the resumption of dental care in all settings, in England. As we transition from the current COVID-19 peak and a continued reduction in risk of sustained community transmission of COVID-19 is maintained, our plan for the longer-term recovery can commence. The immediate focus is on increasing access for patients and supporting practices as they manage the on-going risks in delivering dental care, notably aerosol-generating procedures.”
